My point is that there's plenty of low-talent celebrities that have gotten there by just looking and sounding good. It has nothing to do with THEM being smart, its the movie studios or music companies being smart picking up those people. Its really the guys behind the scenes that are the true masterminds, and that's why I say most celebrities are a joke.
I think that is a shallow judgment. You're just as superficial as you claim they are.
I'm superficial because I look at the overall level of talent of mainstream celebrities and I think that its lacking? Perhaps you should look up what the word superficial means.

Nice generalisation again, Mediator.
Some celebrities can be lovely people, others are talentless and pompous, such as people like Lady Gaga.
Also, Talent is in the eye of the beholder.

I sincerely doubt you're looking at the "overall level of talent", and I don't see what would make you qualified to make that judgment. Are you, perhaps, more talented and acclaimed than the people you're criticizing?
You don't need to be "qualified" to pass judgment on something.
How assbackwards would it be if the only way you could determine something is if you had to have an expert do it for you?
- How do you judge which experts are right or wrong if you're not qualified? You can't, so obviously you can't learn.
- If you can't learn, you can't become an expert.
- If you can't become an expert, the experts that are must have been there forever.
- No one lives forever (that we know of).
Therefore, we can safely say that your initial assumption that you can't pass judgment without being qualified is false.

I got talking to Anders Friden on my holidays in Gothenburg once. I had no idea they were playing or else i would have gotten a ticket. Saw them the next year though.

I guess your brain is too small to understand, but my point was if you take the skeptical approach and say you can't pass judgment on something without hard knowledge of it like you have, if you extend your line of thinking end up ultimately you will end up saying "knowledge is impossible", which is sort of bull$%^&, so you have to accept you can pass judgment without hard knowledge.
Take a philosophy class.
